I read science non- fiction for pleasure. Most often, I can comprehend about 50% of what I read in these books but I LOVE reading them. So sometimes just reading for reading sake is pleasurable. Ps. I do not think I am gifted, just a tad above average.
Dd who I think is gifted has a different problem. Her comprehension is better than her decoding skills. She can listen to classic literature and make connections to real life or other books. But she struggles to and actually hates to read beginner books. Finding a book that is easy to decide but rich in meaning is proving to be quite difficult.
